1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-934, Pollock-1040. Rarity-7-. Silver.

The Eliasberg Judd-943 Pattern Half Dollar 1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-934, Pollock-1040. Rarity-7-. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC. CMQ. Obv: William Barber's seated Liberty facing left, an olive branch in her left hand, her right hand supporting a federal shield with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY crossing the shield. LIBERTY is expressed in raised letters, as always seen on examples of this type despite the notation in the 1994 Pollock pattern reference to the contrary (incuse letters). A liberty pole with cap is behind the portrait, 13 stars encircle the periphery, and the date 1870 is below. Rev: The same design that the Mint used to produce regular issue 1870 Liberty Seated half dollars. A gorgeous Gem Proof with a silver gray center on the obverse that contrasts with champagne-pink, cobalt blue and olive-gray patina elsewhere. The visual effect is stunning, enhanced by the pleasantly reflective fields. Only a dozen of these are known per the uspatterns.com website, confirming the scarcity of Judd-934 in numismatic circles. This is one of the absolute finest, and it has an outstanding provenance, as well. Provenance: From the Mack C. Chase Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, May 1996, lot 267; our (American Numismatic Rarities') Thomas H. Sebring Collection sale, January 2004, lot 70, as NGC Proof-66; our (American Numismatic Rarities') Robert Michael Prescott Collection sale, lot 910, as NGC Proof-66.
